«Le Catacombe di San Callisto» is Antonio Baruffa's historical-archaeological guide to the Roman catacombs of San Callisto, published by Libreria Editrice Vaticana in 1992 in Italian (paperback, 192 pages).
The book traces the history of the Christian catacombs of San Callisto from their origins to the most recent discoveries, contextualizing the cemetery complex and its religious and artistic value. The third chapter guides the reader through the various «regions» of the underground complex with a historical and topographical itinerary, while the rest of the work combines documentary rigor with a popularizing approach oriented to the heritage of the faith.
The work is structured in fifteen chapters and is a guide intended for both the tourist and the archaeologist and the pilgrim, according to the back-cover text signed by Cosimo Semeraro.
Suitable for those who visit or study the catacombs of Rome and for readers interested in the history of Christianity, early Christian archaeology, and Italian religious heritage.
